— Boiler Manual
Failure to adhere to the guidelines on this
page can result in severe personal injury,
death or substantial property damage.
When servicing boiler —
• To avoid electric shock, disconnect electrical supply
before performing maintenance.
• To avoid severe burns, allow boiler to cool before
performing maintenance.
• This boiler contains ceramic fiber and fiberglass
materials. Refer to the WARNING and instructions
on page 107.
Boiler operation —
• Do not block flow of combustion or ventilation air
to boiler.
• Should overheating occur or gas supply fail to
shut off , DO NOT turn off or disconnect electrical
supply to circulator. Instead, shut off the gas supply
at a location external to the appliance.
• Do not use this boiler if any part has been under
water . Immediately call a qualified service techni-
cian to inspect the boiler and to replace any part of
the control system and any gas control that has been
under water.
Combustion air —
• DO NOT install combustion air intake where there
is a risk of combustion air contamination .
Carbon monoxide detector —
• For Direct Exhaust units, a carbon monoxide detec-
tor is required in the boiler room. The carbon mon-
oxide detector must be wired on the same electrical
circuit as the boiler.
• For Direct Vent units, a carbon monoxide detector
that is wired on the same electrical circuit as the boiler
is strongly recommended.
Boiler water —
• Thoroughly flush the system (without boiler con-
nected) to remove sediment. The high-efficiency heat
exchanger can be damaged by build-up or corrosion
due to sediment.
• Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing
compounds in boiler system. Gaskets and seals in the
system may be damaged. This can result in substantial
property damage.
• Leaks in boiler or piping must be repaired at once
to prevent make-up water. Use this boiler ONLY
in a closed-loop system. Continual fresh make-up
water will reduce boiler life. Mineral buildup in heat
exchangers reduces heat transfer, overheats the mate-
rials, and causes failure. Addition of oxygen carried in
by make-up water can cause internal corrosion.
• Do not add cold water to hot boiler. Thermal shock
can cause heat exchanger to crack.
Freeze protection fluids —
• NEVER use automotive or standard glycol antifreeze.
Use only freeze-protection fluids made for hydronic
systems. Follow all guidelines given by the antifreeze
manufacturer. Thoroughly clean and flush any re-
placement boiler system that has used glycol before
installing the new boiler.
Please read before proceeding

damage.
Write in the CP number in the space provided on
the Installation certificate on page 108 if not already
shown.
When calling or writing about the boiler— Please
have the boiler model number from the boiler rating
label and the CP number from the boiler jacket.
Consider piping and installation when determining
boiler location.
Any claims for damage or shortage in shipment
must be filed immediately against the transportation
company by the consignee.

When the boiler is installed within the Commonwealth of Mas-
sachusetts, comply with the following.

device shall be used.
• If sidewall vent or vent/air is installed, see instructions on
page 34.
